Description

Push-button switch
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of push-button switch and manufacture method thereof.
Background technology
In recent years, be used for the key top (part of exposing housing) of the push-button switch of mobile phone etc., adopt metal style with high-grade texture design.The push-button switch on the key top that has the design of metal style in the past below is described.
Figure 15 is for roughly illustrating the sectional view that push-button switch in the past constitutes.With reference to Figure 15, the push-button switch in past mainly contains electrodeposited coating 101, resin forming part 103 and base rubber 104.Electrodeposited coating 101 is formed at the surface of the resin forming part 103 that constitutes the button matrix.Resin forming part 103 is bonded on the base rubber 104 by adhesive linkage 106.On the base rubber 104, integrally form drive disk assembly 105.Drive disk assembly 105 is by pushing the parts that dome-shaped metallic plate 108 carries out switching manipulation.
Should illustrate that this push-button switch is configured on the substrate 107, and key top be exposed outside the housing 110 dispose.
Electrodeposited coating 101 is made of for example chemical nickel coating, electrolytic copper plating layer, electrolytic nickel coating or electrolysis chrome plating.
As mentioned above, the past will be at the surperficial enterprising electroplating of resin forming part 103 for the key top is designed to the metal style.But, adopt this electric plating method, as the design on key top, can only select the color of metal itself, therefore exist the problem that can not freely design.
In addition, as the irrealizable colour planning method of a kind of only metal itself, the method for carrying out colour finish on electrodeposited coating 101 is arranged.But,, peel off easily because the abrasion performance of colored coating is poor.Therefore, just exist such problem: in case carry out switching manipulation repeatedly, colored coating will peel off, and electrodeposited coating 101 is exposed, thereby color spot takes place.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides the degree of freedom height of a kind of high-grade texture that can show metal style design, design and can prevent that the key top from the push-button switch and the manufacture method thereof of color spot taking place.
Push-button switch of the present invention, be the push-button switch that carries out switching manipulation by pressing button, have form on button matrix, the matrix surface and at least the surface present the priming coat of metallic luster and along the ground moulding of priming coat surface coverage priming coat and through the film of priming coat metallic luster.
According to push-button switch of the present invention, the film that uses molded, it is to be made of than the also good material of filming abrasion performance.Therefore, can prevent film separation during use, thereby can prevent from color spot to take place because of priming coat exposes.
In addition, because film is to be made of the material that can see through the priming coat metallic luster, therefore can realizes the design of metal style, thereby can show high-grade texture.
In the above-mentioned push-button switch, film is preferably coloured film.
Thus, can when reflecting the priming coat metallic luster, make film have color, thereby can improve the degree of freedom of design.
In the above-mentioned push-button switch, film is preferably colorless film.
Thus, can clearly see through the metallic luster of priming coat.
In the above-mentioned push-button switch, preferably between priming coat and film, also have one deck to have the transparency layer of layout.
Thus, can improve the degree of freedom of design.
In the above-mentioned push-button switch, priming coat is preferably metal level.
Thus, can form the priming coat that presents metallic luster by plating or evaporation.
In the above-mentioned push-button switch, priming coat is preferably the printed layers of electroplating the style printing from the teeth outwards.
Thus, can obtain the design of desirable plating style by printing, thereby can improve the degree of freedom of design.
In the above-mentioned push-button switch, preferably also have one deck to be used to prevent that heat is transmitted to the protective film of priming coat from matrix, this protective film is formed between matrix and the priming coat.
Thus, can prevent when matrix forms that heat is transmitted to priming coat from the matrix side, thereby can prevent the variable color etc. of priming coat.
In the above-mentioned push-button switch, preferably on matrix, form the transmission device that is used for switching manipulation.
Thus, do not need transmission device and matrix are designed respectively, can seek the omissionization of part.
In the above-mentioned push-button switch, matrix preferably has hollow bulb.
Thus, can seek lightweight.
The manufacture method of push-button switch of the present invention, it is a kind of manufacture method of carrying out the push-button switch of switching manipulation by pressing button, this method comprises that the film forming with the transparency is the button-shape of button-shape and the laminate film that forms along the priming coat that is presented metallic luster by the surface and described frlml laminating, forms the operation that is fixed in the matrix on the laminate film.
Adopt the manufacture method of push-button switch of the present invention, can show with simple method manufacturing metal style design high-grade texture, design degree of freedom height and can prevent to take place the push-button switch of color spot because of abrasion.
Should illustrate, be the operation of button-shape with film forming, can be the operation that film is shaped to button-shape separately, or be the operation of button-shape with laminated state forming with film and priming coat.When film is shaped to button-shape separately, should be after this moulding, the shape of pressing film forms priming coat.
In the manufacture method of above-mentioned push-button switch, preferably after being button-shape, film forming forms matrix.
Thus, can obtain good button-shape.
In the manufacture method of above-mentioned push-button switch, preferably when being button-shape, film forming forms matrix.
Thus, owing to carry out the formation of matrix and the moulding of button-shape simultaneously, can seek the simplification of operation.
